Default sorting is by release year. Click on "N." to sort by sub-series.

The first two titles were released in English, even if they were released in Japan only. Hence, the English icon in the table below. Although they are officially labeled as "role-playing games", Dragon Slayer 1 and 2 hardly fit in the category. They both lack any dialogue with non-playable characters; DS1 also lacks permanent upgrades (some enemies can lower character attributes).

The following table lists original games only (remakes are included on same row); expansion packs will be described within the specific game guide. The Legend of Heroes originated its own spin-off series of the same name, that lists 14 games. Two online games were released in Japan, but are now defunct: Sorcerian Online (2006-2012) and Dragon Slayer: Warriors of the Crown (2012-2014).

The most apparent difference between "Dragon Slayer 2: Xanadu" and "Dragon Slayer 8: Legend of Xanadu" is the fact that the player controls a single hero in DS2 and a party in DS8. For this reason, "Xanadu Next" can be considered related to DS2, and "Tokyo Xanadu" as a spin-off from DS8.
